Why use Multimode Fibre optic cable for Data Networking?

Feb. 11, 2011 - PRLog -- It's ideal for high data-rate systems such as Gigabit Ethernet, FDDI, multimedia, ATM, SONET, Fibre Channel, or any other network that requires the transfer of large, bandwidth-consuming data files, particularly over long distances. A common application for fibre optic cable is as a network backbone, where huge amounts of data are transmitted.
Three types of multimode fibre are currently found in premises networks: 62.5μm multimode fibre (OM1), 50 μm multimode fibre (OM2), and laser optimized 50 μm multimode fibre (OM3).

Multimode-Multimode fibre optic cable can be used for most general fibre applications. Use multimode fibre for bringing fibre to the desktop, for adding segments to your existing network, or in smaller applications such as alarm systems. Multimode cable comes with two different core sizes: 50 micron or 62.5 micron.

Duplex—Use duplex multimode fibre optic cable for applications that require simultaneous, bidirectional data transfer. Workstations, fibre switches and servers, fibre modems, and similar hardware require duplex cable.

Simplex—Because simplex fibre optic cable consists of only one fibre link, you should use it for applications that only require one-way data transfer. For instance, an interstate trucking scale that sends the weight of the truck to a monitoring station or an oil line monitor that sends data about oil flow to a central location.
